Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.Assertion A: 
can be easily reduced using $\displaystyle \mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}$ to 
.Reason R: $\displaystyle \mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}$ is used to reduce carbonyl group to $\displaystyle -\mathrm{CH}_2-$ group .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
